Some skeptics were fearful that Rhapsody's subscription-based music on demand service would never make it to iPhone, well it did and baby it's ready to go. iPhone and iPod touch users can easily stream some 8 million songs over Wi-Fi, 3G or Edge. If you're already a loyal Rhapsody subscriber with an iPhone firmly in hand then you win.
Otherwise a $15 monthly hostage plan is required to enjoy the long term benefits of this music streaming app. The company is gifting a free seven day trial as a proof of concept, hoping that iPhone users will be instantly hooked on the epic Rhapsody To Go offering. That's yet to be seen.
Rhapsody for iPhone is expected to make it's way over to Europe, but for now the app is only available in the US. After spending some time tooling around the app myself, waiting for songs to load, I found it to be just another music overkill experience for the iPhone masses. Now I'm bored. Next!
After two 14-day trials, Rhapsody to Go works on iPhone over Wi-Fi, but only works 50% of time on 3G, in locations where Pandora and Yahoo Music work 100%. I am cancelling until they make it work.

And this service does not allow one to access files from Rhapsody to Go when not on a network?

So if i sign up for Rhapsody to Go I will pay 14.99 total for both my Rhapsody Unlimited and Rhapsody to Go.

It's not an extra $14.99 a month for Rhapsody to go, it's a total of $14.99 a month, so $2 more than the base subscription.
